I was not to sure about enrolling my child into any child care center, after talking with co-workers and friends. I went on a search for care. I was told to look at 5 star locations, however one of my co-workers told me that I would love her child's daycare and it was a 4 star. Once I walked in the door and met the director Ms. Boware, she made me feel so welcome and my child, walked in with the teachers and did not want to leave. I was taken back to the office as my child played with the other children, I got so much information and respect, even by the cook and other teacher. It felt like the right place for my family. I enrolled my child and has love it every since. It's funny when we have to pay our bill because Ms. Boware always makes it in a way that we feel good about paying. I have told so many friends, don't just look at at 5 star, this 4 star is clean, friendly and I feel safe leaving my child with them.
